Dave Robb is the Group Sustainability Lead for Cargill’s Aqua Nutrition businesses. With 20 years of experience in sustainability issues related to aqua feeds, he has a comprehensive understanding of various aspects such as supply chains, feed production, and how feeds can contribute to more sustainable farming.
Robb leads the signature sustainability initiative SeaFurther® Sustainability, through which Cargill aims to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with its customers’ farming activities. This initiative also supports development across a wide range of other sustainability-related topics, promoting more sustainable aquaculture.
Cargill addresses sustainability throughout its value chain, from raw material suppliers to the effectiveness of customers in growing seafood using Cargill’s nutritional products and services. Robb collaborates with broader Cargill teams and partners across the value chain, from origin to end consumer, to create credible and sustainable developments, and to transform, measure, and report the benefits.
A key area of focus is regenerative agricultural practices to reduce emissions from plant ingredients. More information can be found at www.cargill.com/seafurther.
Through these efforts, Cargill has joined the IDH Aquaculture Working Group to explore further opportunities for reducing the environmental footprint of aquaculture operations and to share the knowledge gained, aiming to scale and accelerate the work towards more sustainable aquaculture.
